ITAT Rulings on Capital Gains, Cryptocurrency Tax and Upcoming Tax Audit Deadline
The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) recently ruled in favor of taxpayers in two distinct cases: one involving a Bengaluru man who claimed capital gains tax exemption after selling 17 flats and reinvesting in five properties, and another where a Lucknow Bitcoin investor successfully challenged an Rs 88.55 lakh tax addition due to procedural lapses by the tax department. Additionally, taxpayers are advised to complete tax audits by the October 21, 2026 deadline and perform key checks like GST reconciliation and TDS verification to avoid penalties and notices.
